A new school year has come around. What a strange feeling to be back in the classroom with the hurling final a memory and the All Ireland football final just days away.

Officers of an Coiste Naisiúnta met with Alan Black of Allianz at the World Meeting of Families at the RDS. Alan has liaised closely with the Coiste Naisiunta and Allianz will once again be the flagship sponsors of Cumann na mBunscol. Alan presented Cathaoirleach Bernadette Ryan with a cheque to cover the sponsorship agreement. Bernadette was accompanied by Rúnai Mairead O Callaghan and Mini Sevens Officer Gerry O Meara.

'Cumann na mBunscol enjoys an excellent relationship with Allianz' said Bernadette. 'Allianz is very supportive of our work and we appreciate their support and encouragement.'

Allianz has requested that Cumann na mBunscol units bear the following in mind when using social media to promote our activities.

Hashtag should be used - #AllianzCnmb

Further information will be available at the General Meeting on Saturday September 15th.
